Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: take a small rucksack if you have to take anything so that you keep your hands free.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: wear comfortable shoes such as trainers as you are walking through ruins... in other words you have lots of cobbles and loose stone to walk over.
Don't forget your sunglasses
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun Block!
Photo Equipment: If using a camera you can affix lenses to, do not forget your wide angle lens, I did and it was a nightmare to get some of the shots. Also remember the polariser, in this place it will be your best friend.
Miscellaneous: Take Lots of water with you, it can get very hot in the exposed Ancient temple!
